About Me

Blaise Santianni
Philadelphia, PA, United States
I'm a self-taught chef who is obsessed with good food, good eating and spreading the food and cooking gospel. I hate the label "foodie" and hope people will just make great food a more important part of their lives. I think the first step is learning how to cook it yourself!
